On February 17, 2026, Bayer announced a proposed $7.25 Billion Roundup® settlement to resolve thousands of lawsuits claiming the company’s weed killer caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a serious cancer affecting the lymphatic system.
Roundup contains glyphosate, a widely used herbicide linked to an increased risk of cancer. Tens of thousands of Americans have already filed claims alleging they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after exposure to Roundup.
If approved, the Roundup lawsuit settlement would provide compensation to both current cancer patients and individuals who may be diagnosed in the future.
"This proposed settlement represents a historic step toward bringing justice and financial relief to thousands of people across the country who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after exposure to Roundup."

Breaking Down the Roundup Class Action Settlement
The proposed Roundup class action settlement would create a long-term compensation program designed to resolve existing claims and provide payouts for future cancer diagnoses linked to glyphosate exposure.
In addition to the $7.25 Billion Roundup settlement, Bayer has also agreed to resolve certain other Roundup lawsuits through separate settlement agreements reportedly totaling approximately $3 Billion.
Key details of the global Bayer Roundup settlement include:
- Total Value: $7.25 Billion
- Eligibility: Anyone exposed to Roundup who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma before February 17, 2026, as well as those diagnosed within 16 years after final court approval
- Payment Structure: Roundup settlement payouts should be distributed over time, with payments scheduled over up to 21 years
- Claims Administration: Roundup compensation payouts will be overseen by a professional claims administrator
- Future Claims Included: Compensation is still available for both current and future claimants, unlike earlier Roundup settlement proposals
The Roundup lawsuit settlement still requires approval by the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis in Missouri to become final.
This proposed settlement comes as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to review a separate Roundup case on whether federal pesticide labeling laws affect failure-to-warn claims under state law.
While the Supreme Court’s decision will not directly determine whether this settlement is approved, its review highlights ongoing legal battles surrounding Roundup since Bayer purchased the product line from Monsanto in 2016.
What the Roundup Lawsuit Settlement Means for Victims
If you have already filed a lawsuit, this Roundup settlement could provide a clearer path to compensation, paving the way for a potential payout.
Depending on your case, the Roundup settlement may offer:
- Financial compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages
- Faster resolution compared to continued Roundup litigation
- Greater certainty about potential payouts through a structured claims process
At Sokolove Law, our Roundup attorneys can review your case, explain how the settlement may apply to you, and work to prove your exposure caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Even if you haven't filed a Roundup lawsuit yet, you may still be eligible for compensation — but time is limited. Don't miss your window of opportunity.
When Will Roundup Settlements Be Paid?
Roundup settlement payouts will begin after the proposed $7.25 Billion agreement receives approval from the court, a process that could take several months or longer.
Compensation would then be distributed through the Roundup settlement program as individual claims are reviewed and approved.
Factors that may affect the Roundup settlement payout timeline include:
- Court approval of the settlement terms
- Completion of the claims review and evaluation process
- Verification of medical records and Roundup glyphosate exposure history
- Individual eligibility and case-specific factors
Because the Roundup settlement includes a long-term compensation program, payments may be issued over time rather than all at once.
Some victims who have already filed lawsuits may receive compensation sooner, while others may receive payments later, depending on when they are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and submit a claim.
How Much Will Roundup Settlement Amounts Be?
Exact Roundup lawsuit settlement amounts per person have not yet been finalized. However, potential Roundup settlement amounts will depend on factors like how long you used Roundup, the severity of your non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and your age at the time of diagnosis.
The proposed settlement will reportedly use a structured claims process, or Roundup settlement point system, to evaluate claims and determine compensation amounts.
If approved, structured Roundup settlement payouts could be around:
- $165,000 on average for an agricultural, industrial, or turf worker with long-term Roundup exposure who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma before age 60
- $20,000 on average for a residential Roundup user diagnosed between ages 60 and 77 with a less aggressive form of the illness
- $10,000 on average for patients diagnosed at age 78 or older
These amounts are averages and are subject to change. Final compensation amounts will depend on court approval of the agreement and the evaluation of each individual claim through the Roundup settlement point system.
Victims may choose to participate in the Roundup class action settlement or file their claims separately, depending on the final terms of the agreement.
